One of my most memorable AO3 comments is "More", which was for Separated

Summons character in mind 
          
          Always a guy for some reason 
          
          Happily talks to character in brain while imagining doing an activity together platonically

my mom is also saying I am a LITTLE neurodivergent (her words not mine) because I hyperfixate on fandoms, I have weird aftertouch (like I have an unpleasant feeling after touching an object, which worsens after touching something rough), etc

I was legit dozing off in a class while my teacher was going over a study guide before a test and I just hear that lyric from Glass Animals or someone else being sung by AJR to a similar vocal range as when they sang the chorus in Don't Throw Out My Legos

Y'know that one scene for Ratatouille where the head chef is progressively getting more alarmed as he reads that letter? 
          
          That's me reading the list of all of AO3's commonly used tags

@Assass1n13 it's a website, you don't have to worry about an app (definitely get an account though, some works will stop you from seeing or commenting on it as a guest)

@The_OWLERY_1230 Ok! I think I'll get it. So far I haven't had anyone tell me it wasn't worth it.

@Assass1n13 imo, it is very worth it. I found more fluff on AO3 than I ever have on Wattpad

I will with no hesitation make any sonic character so traumatized they are unredeemable but the fic is so good you can't look away from the trainwreck

I will also make up the most odd crackship and then you read it and find that my insane ramblings actually make sense

          There are very few times where someone has reached out for my advice. There are fewer times where someone has said they were inspired by my bullshit (hello person I see you, you gave me a confidence boost for months ngl). I figure I can put in a good amount of my advice for fellow writers and people who want to start on Wattpad. 
          
          The times that I've given advice, I'd describe it as kind of overwhelming. I tend to write long, complex sentences to get my points across, which *can* work, but sometimes get just as overwhelming as my advice. 
          
          That's where simpler sentences come in. Sentence structure is very important. You've definitely heard that before. You can control the tone and increase tension in the important, action-y parts of your story with short sentences, unfinished sentences, and paragraphs that are literally just one sentence. When it gets serious, but not action-packed, there's utilizing longer sentences to describe what's going on in more detail as the narrator is focusing on everything around them instead of just the important part.
          
           It sounds easy, yes, but action tends to sacrifice complete detail in writing. That gets very painful for some people, including me. Writing overall is a skill you get better at, and eventually you have a writing style that is completely your own. 
          
          You don't have to take this advice specifically, but I like using this type of sentence structure when the tension is there and rising. Short sentences can be just as impactful as, if not more than, long sentences.

(PS obviously the paying attention part also varies depending on if your character/narrator tends to be distracted, has tunnel vision, or anything that obstructs them from noticing anything else or makes them notice everything even in a huge moment. It is just typically people would look at the thing that is happening right here right now right in front of them)
